Roger captures third Cinci title!

23.08.2009 | Tennis

Roger won his final against Novak Djokovic 6-1, 7-5 today to become just the fourth player in the Open Era history of the tournament in Cincinnati to win the title three times. Our champ has now captured the title in 2009, 2007 and 2005.

Roger showed a brilliant performance today and was never troubled by Djokovic. He had to fight in the second set as his opponent took a 3-0 lead, breaking in the second game. But Roger came back strong in his typical way, breaking back twice. Serving for the match, Roger did not drop a single point to complete the perfect warm-up for the US Open which begins in a week on August 31.

Roger dedicated the title two his twin girls during the prize giving ceremony. It is the first title he has captured as a dad.

Many many congratulations to you. What a beautiful match you played! Absolutely majestic. Also, it is great that you beat all three of them one by one, first Nadal in Madrid Open, then Murray and Djokovic in Cincinnati maste
